We went for a walk around Dinas Head today. We left home and half way there had a wonderful view of the Preseli hills covered in mist, just the direction we were aiming. We dithered a bit but went on anyway.
As it happened the hills did stay covered in mist, but the coast turned lovely by mid morning.
We had taken our camping stove, kettle etc and brewed up a coffee before setting off. It is a nice walk. About 3-4 mile I suppose and took us about 2.5 hours. We are not get-there-quick walkers. We are standing-admiring-the view, look-at-that-bird, what-a-view etc walkers so we tend to take a while to get places, but we have a nice time while doing so.
The beach we started from is one where we had a number of holidays when the children were small and has very happy memories too. In your imagination you can people the beach with the adults as they were when small, gappy teeth and all. Nice sentimental moment.
There was an ice cream van at the other side of the headland so we had a lovely ice cream then finished the walk back to the car.
Then we cooked our lunch in the open on the camping stove, with sausages, bacon and eggs and tea. It was great.
By this time the sun was shining so I spent the rest of the afternoon in the garden with a book.
Last day of actual holiday today, but what a lovely end

You took a camping stove on a walk?
Do you know there are some great inventions out there called sandwiches and thermos flask. I can really recommend them!
Love that beach, would like to go back sometime.

No, they were in the car in the car park at the beginning and end of the walk. In between were water, fruit pastilles and the ice creams.
